Remembering Dave Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Betty, I've been wondering about you. The cisplatin was pretty rough on Dave, too, but he didn't lose weight. just kept eating to ward off the nausea. Maybe if your doctor considers switcing your chemo he can try the Topotecan? That's what Dave is taking now for his returned SCLC and so is Addie. The first treatment made Dave really sick, but everyone seems to think it was the zometa he got (to build up bone, not a chemo) that made him sick more than the topotecan. We will be praying for you to feel better and to have success. Hang in there and God Bless, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cindy RN Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I just saw your post!!! I hate it that you are suffering such! Maybe they can use a combo of pain meds. Sometimes that works. I did that cisplatin the first go around and I had a hard time controling the SE of it. I pray for relief and peace for you, and that this med KILLS those stupid cancer cells!!!!!!!!
